Sometimes, very well meaning, friends will give advice such as ‘it’s time to move on’ or ‘you’ll feel better if you scatter/bury them’. But only you will know how you feel about the loss of your loved one and only you will know when and if the time is right to do something else with the ashes.Splitting the ashesIt is worthwhile thinking about keeping some of your beloved pet’s ashes, as long as there are no religious reasons. You can scatter or bury most of the ashes on a favourite walk perhaps, or at sea or on a favourite holiday. But if you keep a small amount back you can memorialise when you are ready. This will give you more time to decide what you want to do as your feelings may change over time.The ProcessAs soon as you buy an ashes into glass ornament we will send you a pack with everything you need to send a small amount – a teaspoon of ashes per item – securely to our glassmaker.The glass maker keeps the ashes securely in a safe until they are individually handmade into your glass memorial. Once cooled the Blue Tit is sent securely to you with the certificate of authenticity.The process takes between 6 to 8 weeks from receipt of ashes.If you do have an urgent order then perhaps consider a gift voucher instead – Gift Voucher.Pet BereavementLosing your pet is tough, you can find lots of helpful advice and practical tips on our advice pages here or you can sign up to our 12 step pet loss guide guide here.
